Their work shocked a conservative public, but their successive exhibitions, their magazine \u003ci\u003eVer Sacrum\u003c\/i\u003e, and their application to the applied arts and architecture soon brought them an enthusiastic following and wealthy patronage. \u003ci\u003eArt in Vienna, 1898-1918: Klimt, Kokoschka, Schiele and their Contemporaries\u003c\/i\u003e, now published in its 4th edition, brilliantly traces the course of this development. Klimt, Kokoschka and Schiele were the leading figures in the fine arts; Wagner, Olbrich, Loos and Hoffmann in architecture and the applied arts. In other fields, Mahler, Freud and Schnitzler were influencing the avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes eye-witness accounts of exhibitions, the opening of the Secession building and other events, and the result is a fascinating documentary study of the members of an artistic movement which is much admired today. Some 150 color images and 75 black and white archival illustrations make this a sumptuous and historically engrossing study of a period when Vienna was the centre of the European art world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Vergo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0714868787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780714868783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Phaidon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.70h x 10.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2015 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2015","brand":"Peter Vergo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43925730001151,"sku":"9780714868783","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_33ef0cf6-ae9e-4a38-ac33-9540c4a6fb53.jpg?v=1681079010","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-in-vienna-1898-1918-peter-vergo-9780714868783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
